He basically destroyed muslim Tughlaq rule and most historians agree that bulk of the Delhi inhabitants were muslims that he killed. What most offensive was his usage of islam card, Timurids themselves were nominal muslims , yet they had the audacity to call tughlaqs and Afghans as kafirs in 1398 and 1526 respectively ......Taimur killed many Indians so Indians crying. Taimur made a skeleton wall out of New Delhi Hindis

Which cities of Afghanistan you are talking about?.....As a muslim , i see timur destroying muslim world, the millions of people he killed were muslims, his wars were not even for establishing rule on conquering territories but just defeating armies for fun and glory...........he destroyed muslims of golden horde in modern day Russia, burning down their cities which led to rise of Russians......he destroyed ottomans, halting their conquests for a century......Even mongols before him were better, they exactly knew what they are doing and established a firm rule on conqured territories.
timirids might have rebuilt the walls and buildings of some cities of Afghanistan, destroyed by their Mongol invaders.......But Afghanistan actually never recovered from Mongol invasion, the desertification in Afghanistan is result of mongol devastation as they destroyed the canal system and agriculture and left the regions depopulated so no care for decades.Herat for example flourished under the Timurids.
Timur (Tamerlane), incorporated much of the area into his own vast Timurid Empire. The city of Herat became one of the capitals of his empire, and his grandson Pir Muhammad held the seat of Kandahar. Timur rebuilt most of Afghanistan's infrastructure which was destroyed by his early ancestor. The area was progressing under his rule. Timurid rule began declining in the early 16th century with the rise of a new ruler in Kabul, Babur. Taimur, a descendent of Genghis Khan, created a vast new empire across Russia and Persia which he ruled from his capital in Samarkland in present-day Uzbekistan. Taimur captured Herat in 1381 and his son, Shah Rudkh moved the capital of the Timurid empire to Herat in 1405. The Timurids, a Turkic people, brought the Turkic nomadic culture of Central Asia within the orbit of Persian civilisation, establishing Herat as one of the most cultured and refined cities in the world. This fusion of Central Asian and Persian culture was a major legacy for the future Afghanistan. A century later, the emperor Babur, a descendent of Taimur, visited Herat and wrote, "the whole habitable world had not such a town as Herat." For the next 300 years the eastern Afghan tribes periodically invaded India creating vast Indo-Afghan empires. In 1500 CE, Taimur's descendent Babur was driven out of his home in the Ferghana valley. By the 16th century western Afghanistan again revereted to Persian rule under the Safavid dynasty.[49][50]
There are some mistakes in this qoute as Timur wasn't a Chinggisid
timirids might have rebuilt the walls and buildings of some cities of Afghanistan, destroyed by their Mongol invaders.......But Afghanistan actually never recovered from Mongol invasion, the desertification in Afghanistan is result of mongol devastation as they destroyed the canal system and agriculture and left the regions depopulated so no care for decades.
You seem to have soft spot for them due to pan-turanism, connection of uzbeks , Kirghiz etc with mongols but facts are facts.Not really for decades. All the destroyed cities were quickly rebuilt by the Timurids and previously under the Kartids. However the current situation of Afghanistan isn't the fault of Mongols as you seem to say that.

"According to Rhea Talley Stewart , the Mongols destroyed, "along with the people, the irrigation systems they had created. No one was left to replace them. Afghanistan is a dry land; the heavy winter snows must leave enough moisture to last all year. Irrigation means life. ... It turned salt. Of all the places destroyed . . . only Herat, because it is in a fertile valley, really rebuilt itself." Prior to the Mongol onslaught, settled communities had never experienced such methodical devastation, and not until the twentieth century would such a scale of intentional
destruction of life and infrastructure be repeated. When the Mongols first came to Afghanistan they had no intention of holding the place. They simply wanted to destroy it.
